I wouldn’t trust anything at MB/FC. I trust Alan Macleod’s work, though. If you want to actually understand the media, he wrote a book on it: Propaganda in the Information Age: Still Manufacturing Consent.
He edited that book, didn’t write it, but okay, I like him too. His work on propaganda about Venezuela is fantastic.

It’s essentially a compilation of articles, and he wrote or co-wrote about half of them.
